III. 27. To Shorten the Waist LJning 20 THL NEW DRL55MAKER. III. 28. To Lenglhen Ihe \vaist Lining depth of the plait will depend on the amountof difference between your figure and the lengthof the pattern. If you find that your underarm measure andthat of the pattern are the same, but that youare shorter-waisted than the pattern, thediflferenceis in the upper part. Decrease the length of theupper part of the pattern by laying a plait acrossthe front and back, half-way between the underarm and the neck. (111. 27.) If you are long-waisted instead of short-waistedthe lining pattern can be altered at the samepoints, by cutting the pieces of the pattern andseparating them sufficiently to give you thelength you need. (III. 28.) In laying plaits across the pattern the edge ofthe pattern should be evened off after the plaitsare laid. If an alteration is made in the length of thelining a corresponding alteration must be madein the pattern of the outside of the waist or dress,taking out or putting in the same amount andin the same places.
